摘要:
A toner having a high colorant concentration and a binder resin that includes a polyester resin having linear portions and crosslinked portions of high density crosslinked microgel particles has a melt flow index value of about 11±MFI units. The binder resin may also include a mixture of two polyester resins having different MFI values.
摘要:
A developer of a mixture of carrier particles and toner particles containing at least one binder, at least one colorant, and optionally one or more additives, has a triboelectric value of from 35 to 60 &mgr;C/g, a charge distribution (Q/D) of from −0.5 to −1.0 fC/&mgr;m and the distribution is substantially unimodal and possesses a peak width of less than 0.5 fC/&mgr;m, preferably less than 0.3 fC/&mgr;m, and a conductivity of the developer ranges from 1×10−11 to 10×10−15 mho/cm as measured at 30 V. The carrier particles of the developer preferably have an average particle diameter of 65 to 90 microns and a size distribution wherein 2.0% or less of a total number of carrier particles have a size less than 38 micrometers. The ratio of carrier volume median diameter to toner volume median diameter is about 10:1. The developer finds particular use in devices utilizing hybrid scavengeless development. Use of a developer with such properties in a hybrid scavengeless development apparatus enables images to be achieved with properties similar to that achieved in offset lithography.

摘要:
A carrier for a developer composition includes a steel core having a shape factor of 6 or more coated with a coating at a coating weight of from 0.1 to 3.0% by weight of a total core weight. The coating is most preferably polymethyl methacrylate. The steel core also preferably has an average particle diameter of 70 to 89 micrometers and a size distribution wherein 1.5% or less of a total number of carrier particles have a size less than 38 micrometers. The carrier is preferably used in conjunction with toner particles to form a developer for particular use in devices utilizing hybrid scavengeless development. Use of a carrier in such a developer in a hybrid scavengeless development apparatus enables images to be achieved with properties similar to that achieved in offset lithography.

摘要:
A process for decreasing toner adhesion and decreasing toner cohesion, which comprises adding a component of magnetite, a metal, a metal oxide, a metal carbide, or a metal nitride to the surface of a toner comprised of resin, wax, and colorant, and wherein toner surface additives are blended with said toner, and wherein said component is permanently attached to the toner surface by the injection of said component in a fluid bed milling device during the size reduction process of said toner contained in said device, and where the power imparted to the toner to obtain said attachment is from equal to, or about above 5 watts per gram of toner.
摘要:
A two dispenser system is used to replenish developer and toner in an electrostatic marking system. This two dispenser system replenishes toner and developer in a more accurate way since each of the dispensers are individually controlled and operated. Better quality prints and less waste is provided over extended usage periods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a high intensity blending apparatus, particularly for blending operations designed to cause additive materials to become affixed to the surface of base particles. More particularly, the proposed invention relates to an improved blending tool for producing surface modifications to electrophotographic and related toner particles. The tool comprises a shank having riser members at each end, such risers being angled to the axis of the shank between 10 and 16 degrees.
摘要:
At least three differently colored toners, designed for use together in forming a color image in an image developing device, have substantially the same melt flow index value. By substantially matching the melt flow index values of at least three toners of a set of toners, it has been found that the resultant color image has an overall excellent image quality, i.e., an excellent overall gloss level without any gloss banding. The toners may be made to have substantially the same melt flow index value in a carefully controlled process that includes forming a single toner by feeding at least one binder and at least one colorant into a mixing device to form a mixture, upon exit of the mixture from the mixing device, measuring a rheology property of the mixture with at least one monitoring device, and comparing the measured rheology property to a target property range that the measured rheology property must be within in order for the single toner to achieve the desired melt flow index value, wherein if the measuring indicates that the rheology property is outside of the target property range, feed amounts of the at least one binder or of the at least one colorant into the mixing device are adjusted, grinding the mixture, optionally together with a portion of one or more external additives to be added to the mixture, classifying the ground mixture, mixing the classified mixture with one or more external surface additives to obtain the single toner having the desired melt flow index value, and repeating the steps for each additional differently colored toner.
